My research interests are closely focused around Classical and Recurrent Novae, particularly their progenitor systems and extragalactic populations, and their link to Type Ia Supernovae. I have also worked in the area of gravitational microlensing and general time-domain astronomy, with a focus on observations and techniques.

I was the chair of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) and a member of the Science Organising Committee for the joint EAS European Week of Astronomy and Space Science (EWASS) and RAS National Astronomy Meeting (NAM) in Liverpool 2018 - the largest Astronomy meeting ever held in the UK! I continued in an advisory role for the EWASS 2019 LOC. In 2017 I was shortlisted for the Times Higher Education Research Project of the Year (STEM) Award, and won a University of Liverpool Student Experience Staff Award for my work on the Mission to Mars programme.
